ABSTRACT
In this article we present the material of tombs of the orientalizing period excavated in 2015 in the necropolis of Les Casetes in Villajoyosa (Alicante). Even if all the funeral material is important, with a lot of ceramics and jewels, we have chosen to insist on the discovery of three ostrich eggs in the tombs 445, 503 y 466. Two of these eggs shells are decorated with the methods used in all the Mediterranean area during the 7 and 6th centuries B.C.: the painting and the low relief. We explain the interesting process of their restoration and we open the reflexion about their styles.
